means An institution for teaching or training in a particular field, often one with a sense of prestige or discipline attached to it.

from Traces back to Akademeia, a grove of olive trees outside ancient Athens, named for a local hero called Akademos (or Hekademos). Plato set up his school there around the 4th century BCE, and the place-name stuck to the practice — first meaning 'Plato's school,' then any philosophical school, and eventually any institution devoted to learning. The hero got quietly evicted from his own grove by history.
